Blank Artists February 2010 Podcast w/ Pipé Scuttleworth

Pipé Scuttleworth is a clock watching dreamer, a fighter, and a thief. He dabbles in amateur carpentry and unearths and fashions sounds with a madman’s fervor in the final throws of a violent, delusional death. Pipé is a lover of horses and fixer of machines, a chef, a writer, a cyclist and re-cyclist, a former practitioner of things legal. A jack of all trades and a master of few, he is currently in search of a metallurgist to mold him into an ‘animalier,’ in hopes of translating some of his talents to the creation of metallic beasts.

The wicked aspersions mumbled here and yon about his deeds fall not upon dead ears. Oh to the contrary, the man consumes them, preternaturally twists them, adds a dash of outlandishness, and regurgitates the amplified rubbish to anyone within ear shot.

He may be a filthy son of a gun but his unique talents and temperament subconsciously and subtly ingratiate himself with others. Then, before long, your heretofore proper dandy of a little sister is cursing like a longshoreman and placing friendly bets that she can spit farther than Pipé…lovely!

Oh, yet it continues from this discomfiting level. To the hilt we must go, if you value Universal equilibrium. Perhaps it’s the Gypsy pedigree, maybe his karmic credit, or just plain dumb luck, but Pipé makes things happen, or as is often the case, suffers injury while trying. Though his tirades are sufficient to make abusive, philanderers flush pink with embarrassment, he would not deny you your bit of bread on the eve of the apocalypse, such the sweet man that he is.

Pipé does not concern himself with things shiny and freshly minted when a worn antique will do. Yet new things are warranted, and even appreciated on occasion. However, for the most part, things were made better in the old days anyhow. Things like vinyl records and analog machines and good sturdy babies. Tangible things, with stories, and lives of their own are what Pipé seeks, and god dammed if he won’t scour the good earth for those things. So check him out. He might actually make it worth your while. But never, ever forget, lest you get lambasted, he is playing for his enjoyment, you’re just there for the ride.
